Senior Secured Credit Facilities

 

The Company’s credit agreement, as amended and restated on April 3, 2018, (“Credit Agreement”) provides for a seven-year, senior secured term loan facility and a five-year, $800 senior secured revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) (collectively, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”).

 

The senior secured term loan facility under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities provides for a class of term loans, denominated in U.S. dollars, in an aggregate principal amount of $900 (“Dollar Term Loan”) and a class of term loans, denominated in euros, in an aggregate principal amount of €350 (“Euro Term Loan”) (collectively, the “Term Loans”). The Dollar Term Loan bears a variable interest rate equal to, at the election of the Company, adjusted LIBOR plus 1.75% or adjusted base rate plus 0.75%, subject to an adjusted LIBOR or an adjusted base rate floor of 0.00% or 1.00%, respectively. The Euro Term Loan bears a variable interest rate equal to adjusted EURIBOR plus 2.00%, subject to an adjusted EURIBOR floor of 0.50%. The Term Loans will mature on April 3, 2025, and are subject to acceleration in certain circumstances.

 

The proceeds of any loans made under the Revolving Credit Facility can be used for working capital needs and other general corporate purposes, including permitted acquisitions, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Revolving Credit Facility bears a variable interest rate range based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, between (i) a 0.25% and a 1.00% spread for adjusted base rate loans, and (ii) a 1.25% and a 2.00% spread for LIBOR and EURIBOR loans. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility within an interest rate range based on its total net leverage ratio, between 0.10% and 0.25%. The Revolving Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on April 3, 2023, and is subject to acceleration in certain circumstances.

 

At December 31, 2020, the effective interest rates on the Dollar Term Loan and the Euro Term Loan were 1.9% and 2.5%, respectively, and commitment fees on the Revolving Credit Facility were assessed at a rate of 0.20% per annum. In connection with the amendment of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the Company incurred a loss on debt extinguishment of $3 for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 


On April 8, 2020, as a precautionary measure in light of macroeconomic uncertainties driven by COVID-19, the Company drew $300 from its Revolving Credit Facility; the borrowings were subsequently repaid during the third quarter of 2020. In the second quarter of 2019, the Company drew $150 under its Revolving Credit Facility for general corporate purposes; the borrowings were subsequently repaid during the third quarter of 2019. No borrowings were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2020 and 2019. Chemours also had $102 and $103 in letters of credit issued and outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

  

Under the Credit Agreement, solely with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company is required to maintain a senior secured net leverage ratio not to exceed 2.00 to 1.00 in each quarter, through the date of maturity. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability, subject to certain exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness or liens, pay dividends, and engage in certain transactions, including mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, or investments, outside of specified carve-outs. The Credit Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties and events of default. The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants at December 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, the Company made principal payments of $13 on its Term Loans. The Company’s obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by all of its material domestic subsidiaries, which are also guarantors of the Company’s outstanding notes, subject to certain exceptions. The obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are also, subject to certain exceptions, secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets and substantially all of the assets of its wholly-owned, material domestic subsidiaries, including 100% of the stock of certain of its domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of certain of its foreign subsidiaries.

 

Senior Unsecured Notes

 

Senior Unsecured Notes Due May 2023 and May 2025

 

On May 12, 2015, Chemours issued an aggregate principal amount of $2,503 in senior unsecured notes consisting of an aggregate principal amount of $1,350 6.625% senior unsecured notes due May 2023, denominated in U.S. dollars (the “2023 Dollar Notes”), an aggregate principal amount of €360 6.125% senior unsecured notes due May 2023, denominated in euros (the “2023 Euro Notes”), and an aggregate principal amount of $750 7.000% senior unsecured notes due May 2025, denominated in U.S dollars (the “2025 Notes”) (collectively, the “Original Notes”). The Original Notes required or require, as applicable, payment of principal at maturity and payments of interest semi-annually in cash and in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The proceeds from the Original Notes were issued to fund a cash distribution to EID in connection with the Separation. As discussed in more detail below, the Company purchased or redeemed, as applicable, all of the outstanding 2023 Euro Notes and a $250 aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Dollar Notes during the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company purchased or redeemed, as applicable, the remaining $908 aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Dollar Notes during the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

The Original Notes were or are, as applicable, fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured unsubordinated basis, by each of Chemours’ existing and future direct or indirect domestic restricted subsidiaries that (i) incurs or guarantees indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, or (ii) guarantees certain other indebtedness of the Company or any guarantor in an aggregate principal amount in excess of$75. The Original Notes were or are, as applicable, unsecured and unsubordinated by Chemours and its guarantor subsidiaries. The Original Notes ranked or rank, as applicable, equally in right of payment to all of Chemours’ existing and future unsecured unsubordinated debt and senior in right of payment to all of its existing and future debt that is by its terms expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Original Notes. The Original Notes were or are, as applicable, subordinated to indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, as well as any future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, and are structurally subordinated to the liabilities of any non-guarantor subsidiaries.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Original Notes, the Company was or is, as applicable, obligated to offer to purchase the Original Notes at a price of (i) 101% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but not including, the date of purchase, upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, and (ii) 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but not including, the date of purchase, with the proceeds from certain asset dispositions. These restrictions and prohibitions were or are, as applicable, subject to certain qualifications and exceptions set forth in the indenture governing the Original Notes, including without limitation, reinvestment rights with respect to the proceeds of asset dispositions. The Company may also redeem some or all of the remaining Original Notes (i.e., the 2025 Notes) by means other than a redemption, including tender offer and open market repurchases.

 

Chemours may redeem some or all of the remaining Original Notes (i.e., the 2025 Notes) on or after May 15, 2020 at specified redemption prices. Pursuant to the terms of the tax matters agreement entered into at the time of the Separation, the Company’s ability to pre-pay, pay down, redeem, retire, or otherwise acquire the 2025 Notes is limited in the absence of obtaining certain tax opinions.

 


Senior Unsecured Notes Due May 2027

 

On May 23, 2017, the Company issued a $500 aggregate principal amount of 5.375% senior unsecured notes due May 2027 (the “2027 Notes”). The 2027 Notes require payment of principal at maturity and interest semi-annually in cash and in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The Company received proceeds of $489, net of an original issue discount of $5 and underwriting fees and other related expenses of $6, which are deferred and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the 2027 Notes. A portion of the net proceeds from the 2027 Notes was used to pay the $335 accrued for the First MDL Settlement, as discussed in “Note 22 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities”. The remaining proceeds from the 2027 Notes were available for general corporate purposes.

 

The 2027 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured unsubordinated basis by each of the Company’s existing and future direct and indirect domestic restricted subsidiaries that (i) incurs or guarantees indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, or (ii) guarantees certain other indebtedness of the Company or any guarantor in an aggregate principal amount in excess of$100. The guarantees of the 2027 Notes will rank equally with all other senior indebtedness of the guarantors. The 2027 Notes rank equally in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future unsecured unsubordinated debt and are senior in right of payment to all of its existing and future debt that is by its terms expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2027 Notes. The 2027 Notes are subordinated to indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, as well as any future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, and structurally subordinated to the liabilities of any non-guarantor subsidiaries.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2027 Notes, the Company is obligated to offer to purchase the 2027 Notes at a price of 101% of the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but not including, the date of purchase, upon the occurrence of certain change of control events. The Company may redeem the 2027 Notes, in whole or in part, at an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount plus a specified “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase prior to February 15, 2027. The Company may also redeem some or all of the 2027 Notes by means other than a redemption, including tender offer and open market repurchases.

 

Senior Unsecured Notes Due May 2026

 

On June 6, 2018, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of €450 4.000% senior unsecured notes due May 2026, denominated in euros (the “2026 Euro Notes”). The 2026 Euro Notes require payment of principal at maturity and payments of interest semi-annually in cash and in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The Company received net proceeds of €445, which, together with cash on hand, were used to purchase or redeem, as the case may be, all of the outstanding 2023 Euro Notes and a $250 aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Dollar Notes pursuant to the Tender Offers (as defined below) and the redemption of the 2023 Euro Notes, as well as pay for any fees and expenses in connection therewith. In connection with the concurrent redemption of the 2023 Euro Notes and issuance of the 2026 Euro Notes, the Company incurred a loss on extinguishment of $35 for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

The 2026 Euro Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured unsubordinated basis by each of the Company’s existing and future direct and indirect domestic restricted subsidiaries that (i) incurs or guarantees indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, or (ii) guarantees certain other indebtedness of the Company or any guarantor in an aggregate principal amount in excess of$100. The guarantees of the 2026 Euro Notes will rank equally with all other senior indebtedness of the guarantors. The 2026 Euro Notes also rank equally in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future unsecured unsubordinated debt and are senior in right of payment to all of its existing and future debt that is, by its terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2026 Euro Notes. The 2026 Euro Notes are subordinated to indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, as well as any future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, and are structurally subordinated to the liabilities of any non-guarantor subsidiaries.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2026 Euro Notes, the Company is obligated to offer to purchase the 2026 Euro Notes at a price of 101% of the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but not including, the date of purchase, upon the occurrence of certain change of control events. Prior to May 15, 2021, the Company may redeem the 2026 Euro Notes (i) in whole or in part, at an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount plus a specified “make-whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the redemption date and (ii) on one or more occasions, up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes, with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings at a price equal to 104% of the principal amounts of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the redemption date. On or after May 15, 2021, the Company may redeem the 2026 Euro Notes at specified redemption prices. The Company may also redeem some of all of the 2026 Euro Notes by means other than a redemption, including tender offer and open market repurchases.


2023 Notes Tender Offers and Redemption of the 2023 Euro Notes

 

On May 21, 2018, the Company commenced two all-cash tender offers to purchase: (i) up to $250 of the outstanding 2023 Dollar Notes, for a purchase price of $1,052.50 per $1,000.00 of principal amount through an early tender deadline of June 4, 2018, and $1,022.50 per $1,000.00 of principal amount thereafter, through June 18, 2018, the tender expiration date, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (the “Dollar Tender Offer”); and, (ii) any and all of the outstanding 2023 Euro Notes, for a purchase price of €1,048.75 per €1,000.00 of principal amount through an early tender deadline of June 4, 2018, and €1,018.75 per €1,000.00 of principal amount thereafter, through June 18, 2018, the tender expiration date, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (the “Euro Tender Offer”) (collectively, the “Tender Offers”).

 

The Company completed the Dollar Tender Offer on June 6, 2018 for an aggregate purchase price of $264, inclusive of an early participation premium of $13 and accrued interest of $1. The Company completed the Euro Tender Offer on June 8, 2018 for an aggregate purchase price of €310, inclusive of an early participation premium of €14 and accrued interest of €1. In connection with the Euro Tender Offer, the Company received consents from the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Euro Notes to amend certain provisions of the indenture governing the 2023 Euro Notes, thereby allowing the Company to call and redeem the remaining 2023 Euro Notes outstanding upon two business days’ notice to the noteholders. On June 8, 2018, the Company completed the redemption of the remaining outstanding 2023 Euro Notes that were not purchased pursuant to the Euro Tender Offer. The Tender Offers and the redemption of the 2023 Euro Notes were funded with the proceeds from the offering of the 2026 Euro Notes and cash on hand.

 

Senior Unsecured Notes Due November 2028

 

On November 27, 2020, the Company issued an $800 aggregate principal amount of 5.750% senior unsecured notes due November 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) in an offering that was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The 2028 Notes require payment of principal at maturity and interest semi-annually in cash and in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The Company received proceeds of $790, net of underwriting fees and other related expenses of $10, which are deferred and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the 2028 Notes. The net proceeds from the 2028 Notes were used, together with cash on hand, to purchase or redeem, as applicable, the remaining $908 aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Dollar Notes. In connection with the purchase and redemption of the remaining 2023 Dollar Notes, the Company incurred a loss on extinguishment of $22 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

The 2028 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured unsubordinated basis by each of the Company’s existing and future direct and indirect domestic restricted subsidiaries that (i) incurs or guarantees indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, or (ii) guarantees certain other indebtedness of the Company or any guarantor in an aggregate principal amount in excess of$100. The guarantees of the 2028 Notes will rank equally with all other senior indebtedness of the guarantors. The 2028 Notes rank equally in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future unsecured unsubordinated debt and are senior in right of payment to all of its existing and future debt that is by its terms expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2028 Notes. The 2028 Notes are subordinated to indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, as well as any future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, and structurally subordinated to the liabilities of any non-guarantor subsidiaries.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2028 Notes, the Company is obligated to offer to purchase the 2028 Notes at a price of 101% of the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but not including, the date of purchase, upon the occurrence of certain change of control events. Prior to November 15, 2023, the Company may redeem the 2028 Notes (i) in whole or in part, at an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount plus a specified “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, and (ii) on one or more occasions, up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes, with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings at a price equal to 105.750% of the principal amounts of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the redemption date. On or after November 15, 2023, the Company may redeem the 2028 Notes at specified redemption prices. The Company may also redeem some or all of the 2028 Notes by means other than a redemption, including tender offer and open market repurchases.

 

2023 Dollar Notes Tender Offer and Redemption

 

On November 12, 2020, the Company commenced an all-cash tender offer to purchase any and all of the outstanding 2023 Dollar Notes for a purchase price of $1,017.94 per $1,000.00 of principal amount through an early tender deadline of November 25, 2020, and $987.94 per $1,000.00 of principal amount thereafter, through December 10, 2020, the tender expiration date, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (the “2023 Dollar Notes Tender Offer”). In connection with the 2023 Dollar Notes Tender Offer, the Company received consents from the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Dollar Notes to amend certain provisions of the indenture governing the 2023 Dollar Notes, thereby allowing the Company to call and redeem the remaining 2023 Dollar Notes outstanding upon two business days’ notice to the noteholders (the “2023 Dollar Notes Redemption”) (collectively, the “2023 Dollar Notes Tender Offer and Redemption”).


The Company completed the 2023 Dollar Notes Tender Offer and Redemption on December 1, 2020 for an aggregate purchase price of $926, inclusive of an early participation premium of $16 and accrued interest of $2. The 2023 Dollar Notes Tender Offer and Redemption was funded with the proceeds from the offering of the 2028 Notes and cash on hand.

 

Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility

 

On July 12, 2019, the Company, through a wholly-owned special purpose entity (“SPE”), executed an agreement with a bank for an accounts receivable securitization facility (“Securitization Facility”) for the purpose of enhancing the Company’s liquidity (the “Original Purchase Agreement”). Under the Securitization Facility, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries sell their accounts receivable to the SPE, which is a non-guarantor subsidiary. In turn, the SPE may transfer undivided ownership interests in such receivables to the bank in exchange for cash. The Securitization Facility permitted the SPE to borrow up to a total of $125, with an option to increase to $200. The bank has a first priority security interest in all receivables held by the SPE, and the SPE has not granted a security interest to anyone else. At December 31, 2019, receivables held by the SPE totaled $176.

 

As the SPE previously maintained effective control over the accounts receivable under the Original Purchase Agreement, the transfers of the ownership interests to the bank did not meet the criteria to account for the transfers as true sales. As a result, the Company accounted for the transfers as collateralized borrowings. Cash received from the bank was a short-term obligation of the Company, which was fully-collateralized by all receivables held by the SPE. The Securitization Facility was subject to interest charges against both the amount of outstanding borrowings and the amount of available but undrawn commitments. The Securitization Facility bore a variable interest rate on outstanding borrowings and a fixed commitment fee on the average daily undrawn amount. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the Securitization Facility was 2.0%. Borrowings under the Securitization Facility were classified in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of current liabilities due to the short-term nature of the obligation. Borrowings and repayments under the Securitization Facility amounted to $128 and $18, respectively. Net borrowings of $110 remained outstanding as of December 31, 2019.

 

On March 9, 2020, the Company, through its wholly-owned SPE, entered into an amended and restated receivables purchase agreement (the “Amended Purchase Agreement”) under the Securitization Facility. The Amended Purchase Agreement amends and restates, in its entirety, the Original Purchase Agreement. The Amended Purchase Agreement, among other things, extends the term of the Original Purchase Agreement such that the SPE may sell certain receivables and request investments and letters of credit until the earlier of March 5, 2021 or a termination event, and contains customary representations and warranties, as well as affirmative and negative covenants.

 

Pursuant to the Amended Purchase Agreement, the Company no longer maintains effective control over the transferred receivables, and therefore accounts for these transfers as sales of receivables. As a result, on March 9, 2020, the Company repurchased the then-outstanding receivables under the Securitization Facility through repayment of the secured borrowings under the Original Purchase Agreement, resulting in net repayments of $110 and subsequent sale of $125 of its receivables to the bank during the first quarter of 2020. These sales were transacted at 100% of the face value of the relevant receivables, resulting in derecognition of the receivables from the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Cash received from collections of sold receivables is used to fund additional purchases of receivables at 100% of face value on a revolving basis, not to exceed $125, which is the aggregate purchase limit. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company received $932 of cash collections on receivables sold under the Amended Purchase Agreement, following which it sold and derecognized $932 of incremental accounts receivable. The Company maintains continuing involvement as it acts as the servicer for the sold receivables and guarantees payment to the bank. As collateral against the sold receivables, the SPE maintains a certain level of unsold receivables, which amounted to $33 at December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company incurred $2 of fees associated with the Securitization Facility. Costs associated with the sales of receivables are reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the periods in which the sales occur.

 

Other

 

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company entered into a financing arrangement, by which an external financing company funded certain of the Company’s annual insurance premiums for $16. The Company repaid all of the outstanding borrowings under its 2020 financing arrangement during the year ended December 31, 2020. During the third quarter of 2019, the Company entered into a similar financing arrangement for $11, of which $6 remained outstanding at December 31, 2019. The Company has repaid all remaining borrowings under its 2019 financing arrangement.


Maturities

 

The Company has required quarterly principal payments related to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities equivalent to 1.00% per annum through December 2024, with the balance due at maturity. Also, following the end of each fiscal year commencing on the year ended December 31, 2019, on an annual basis, the Company is required to make additional principal payments depending on leverage levels, as defined in the Credit Agreement, equivalent to up to 50% of excess cash flows based on certain leverage targets with step-downs to 25% and 0% as actual leverage decreases to below a 3.50 to 1.00 leverage target. The Company was not required to make additional principal payments in 2020.
